Long Summer nights

Like it was painted on / Wie bemalt

Nikon D800, Nikon Nikkor 85 mm f1.8 G, ISO 400, f2.5, 1/100 sec.

Ah, so here I am back in my comfort zone with a spur of the moment landscape (skyscape?) style shot. The rainy weather has finally given way to clear skies and heat and we have been treated to some spectacular sunsets of late. I really loved this one in particular as the sky was lit with ever changing colours for what seemed like hours and the wispy clouds appear to be painted on with an artists brush. This photo was taken shortly before the light disappeared completely, so it really was quite dark, but some pushing and pulling in Lightroom and Photoshop helped to bring back the colours as I remember them.
